Photo stream delete

Is it possible to completely remove/ delete photos that have been sent to iCloud in error?
Regards Barry

At this point, you can only delete all photos from Photostream. Rumor goes that an upcomming update will let users pick individual pictures to delete.
Go to www.icloud.com. Log in and goto preferences. Then choose advanced and there should be an option to delete all photostream content.

  • Photo Stream delete problem

    When deleting photos in Photo Stream from my 4s or iPad 1, it used to delete universally from all devices.  I added my apple tv, and now it says "This photo will be removed only from the Photo Stream on this (iPhone or iPad)."  how do I get the universal delete back?  This problem makes managing photos for the Apple tv Photo Stream screen saver difficult.

    I should add that I signed out of Photo Stream on the apple tv, still have only local delete on all my devices.

  • Photo stream deleting pictures

    If I delete pictures from one photo stream it doesn't get deleted from my other computers.  How can I manage my photo stream pictures better?

    See this support document:
       iCloud: How to delete photos from Photo Stream
    Just remember -  deleting photos from the photo treams as described above, will delete them from iCloud, but not the photos, that already have been imported to monthly events/projects by auto import.

  • Photo Stream deletion and iOS 5.1...

    I recently upgraded to iOS 5.1 because I can now delete pictures in my Photo Stream.  A great new featuer I would say!  I went into my iPhoto 9.2.2 and then to Photo Stream and delete a lot of pictures from the stream.  However, when I check on my iPad and iPhone, both with 5.1 upgrades, those deleted pictures are still there.  I also see from a quick Google search which someone said, for picture deletions to be reflected across all devices (iPad, iPhone, etc…), the deletions must be from pictures taken with iOS 5.1.  Older pictures taken with iOS 5 will not work.  Can someone chime in if this is true or not?
    Thanks!

    Ok just verified that older pictures taken before 5.1 will not delete on all devices. I took a picture on my iphone and verified it showed up on my macbook air and ipad then I deleted it on my iphone and it deleted on all devices. When trying to delete anything taken prior to 5.1 it will only delete on only that device. I guess deleting the whole stream is the only way to fix it and start over. Still kinda ***** you can't delete them all from one device and it propagates to all devices.

  • Shared photo stream & deleting photos from iPhone

    Hi guys,
    Ok so I have shared photo streams on my phone (mostly started by me), with friends and family. I am reaching full capacity of my phone and thus need to delete the pictures stored in my iPhone (the ones Stored in my phone, not the shared photo stream ones). I've already transferred them to my computer so they are ready to be deleted. what my question is that if I clear up the photos stored in my phone, will the shared photo stream be affected by this aswell? as mostly pictures shared on photo stream are by my photo library in the phone which i am going to delete. If yes than is there a way to clear up my phone from the stored photos without affecting the shared photo streams that I am sharing?... I remember i tried doing this last year when I upgraded to a iPhone 5s and ended up completely deleting my shared photo stream. Don't want that to happen again. Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks

    anyone?

  • I am getting a new laptop, will my photo stream delete itself once I delete iTunes from my computer? And will it automatically come up on my new laptop when I download iTunes and sign in?

    I am getting a new laptop and need help!

  • 2 Photo Stream Folders on iPhone - Why do I have 2 photo stream folders on my iPhone? One is accurate and the other is empty. How do I delete the empty one? The empty folder doesn't allow my photos to be synced with my ipad2.

    I tried disabling the iCloud on my iPhone and ipad2 and re-enabling in hopes elimnating the extra empty folder on my iphone.  Despite disabling the iCloud on my iPhone, the empty Photo Stream folder remained on my iPhone and the other Photo Stream folder with my pictures was removed.  I think because of this empty folder, my iPad isn't being prayed with my photos. Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?

    You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection".  Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
    You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac.  Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone.  When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
    To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

  • Hi, I switched off photo stream in iphone in settings and as a result those photos even got deleted in iPad. How do I retrieve them? How to use this better to avoid such stuff?

    I switched off photo stream in my iphone and as a result those 1 months photos got deleted on iPad. How can I retrieve them? How to avoid this in future?

    This happened because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photo will remain on your device until deleted.  Turning off photo stream deleted them from your device; reconnecting to photo stream redownloads photos from the last 30 days (as older ones are no longer in iCloud). 
    To keep your photos permanently, import them to your computer while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  To save photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll so they can be imported too.

  • After sharing via photo stream... Am I able to delete from my album without it being deleted from photo stream?

    Help I need to make space on my iPad but afraid of loosing photos :/

    If you delete these pictures from your iPad, they will stay in your Photo Stream. However, Photo Stream deletes your pictures 30 days after adding them, so you should back up them to the Mac or PC if you don't want to lose these pictures

  • How do i save photos in iphoto but not in photo stream

    When I take photos with my iphone, it saves a random number to the photo stream.  For instance, if I take 5 photos, they all go to the photo stream on my iphone, but on my Mini, one might appear, or more, it is seemingly random.  I want to save them all to my hard drive on my Mac mini.  Deleting them from photo stream deletes them permanently, from everywhere.  Sometimes it saves the random number to an event in iphoto, sometimes not.  When it does this, deleting them from the photo stream may or may not delete them from the event.  Again, it appears random.  I want to save photos, and have access to them, without keeping everything in photo stream.  How do I do this?
    The problem is that saving seems to be completely random.  I have vacation photos that I don't want to lose.

    They should all be in the Photo Stream.  Sometimes it taks a while for the PS to refresh itself. In your iPhoto library set the Photo Stream preferences to
    This will automatically import any photo added to the Photo Stream into your iPhoto Library.
    If waiting for a while for the PS to refresh itse'f doesn't show all of the photos taken the try the following:
    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.
    Rebooting your iPhone can also help.

  • HT4890 cant edit photos on windows live because of photo stream

    Chaning sharing, changing permissions, changing read only does not work. If I transfer pictures from my iPhone to my computer and then try to edit them in Windows live Photo Gallery, I get an error that says the file is in use by another program. This problem started the same day I started using photo stream. Please help. I've tried resetting my photo stream, deleting my photo stream folder on my computer...nothing works. I can not even change the orientation of a photo once i've transfered it from my iPhone to my computer.

    Hi Amish,
    I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
    Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback.

  • Iphone 4s Storage is full, Photo Stream is over full, cannot psynch with Itunes how do I fix this! Completely shutdown, apps on phone won't run correctly. HELP!!!!

    My Iphone 4S storage is full! Phone is not functioning correctly due to full storage.  Tried to backup and psych with Itunes, Back up worked (supposedly) but
    Itunes cannot psych due to being over capacity. Can't find how to edit files and delete stuff. 

    shut down "photo stream" , delete unused apps. export your photos from iPhone to PC and then delete all of your photos. But if you want to keep the photos on phone, maybe you will try some methods to compress the photo size in order to free up more storage.

  • If I put pictures on my IMac. Can photo stream send them to my other devices.

    If I put pictures on my iMac can photo stream send them to my other devices?

    Of course. However, note that you need iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 on your iMac, and that the other devices must be an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iCloud, another Mac with iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 and OS X 10.7.2 or later, or a PC with iCloud Control Panel.
    The first thing you have to do is to upload your photos to Photo Stream, but first you need to enable Photo Stream > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2710
    Then, to add photos to Photo Stream, open iPhoto and drag the photos you want to "iCloud" or "Photo Stream" in the iPhoto or Aperture sidebar. This will make that your photos appear on other devices, so just go to them and copy them to the internal memory, because Photo Stream deletes your photos after 30 days. If you have got an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can find your photos in the Photos application, and in a PC, you can find them in My Pictures folder.

  • I currently have an iPhone 5, 16gb. I Do Not want to Loose any photos or albums by deleting them from my phone and not backing them up correctly. My iCloud backup is only storing my "Photo Stream" and I can not locate them in iTunes after I sync/Back up.

    I currently have an iPhone 5, 16gb. My storage is almost full on my phone. There are only 80 mg available. I am new to icloud and also have always had trouble navigating around iTunes. (Even after endlessly reading through support and help topics as well as calling)   My concern is about Not Losing any of my photos if I delete them from my phone. I have to delete a large portion of my camera roll as well as the Album Folders I have created. Although it would be great if there was a way to just keep my albums still. I have already backed them up to an external hard-drive, my computer and a geek stick. I'm not trying to be too paranoid about these photos, but, they are all of my 3 children. There are over 4000 pictures stored on my phone. Some photos go back as far as 2009.   Can you offer any information about backing up my Camera Roll, not just "Photo Stream", and albums I've created On my phone? I read that it's good to back photos up on both iTunes as well as icloud. I even purchased extra icloud storage to back them all up.   I do regularly back up/sync, my phone to my computers.   However, I cannot even locate where they are stored on iTunes, let alone look at them. And as far as my iCloud backup, it only stores the new pictures from "Photo Stream".   Please offer any advice you may have. I do not use up a lot of storage on my phone other than Photos and Contacts (it's a work phone).   I would definitely be able to sleep better knowing my children can one day see these pictures of themselves. I appreciate your time. Thank you,

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • I copied the photos from my photo stream folder to a new folder on my macbook pro. I then deleted the phots in my photo stream folder. It erased them from the other folder as well. Why? Where did they go? Can I get them back? Please help. Thanks.

    Hello, I wanted to clear out my photo stream folder on my macbook pro, so I copied all the photos to a permanent folder. I then deleted all the photos in my photo stream folder. The photos in my backup folder were automatically deleted and I want them retrieved. They are not in my trash and I can't find them. Are photos autmatically backed up in my phots? How can I retrieve the deleted photos? Please help. Thanks.

    You can't currently delete individual photos but you can reset
    Step 1: Login to your iCloud account on iCloud.com from a Mac or PC.
    Step 2: Click on your name at the top right of the main iCloud page.
    Step 3: Click on the Advanced option.
    Step 4: Click “Reset Photo Stream.” You will then need to confirm.
    Step 5: This Photo Stream reset will not go into effect until you toggle Photo Stream on and off on your devices. In iOS, Photo Stream can be turned off and on in the iCloud settings window of the Settings app.
